Summary
Steve's been caring for his little brother Dustin for nearly seven years, doing odd jobs for folks and running Claudia's old business as the town's root-worker. Making salves for aches for the older holler residents, helping birth the children of those who couldn't afford the fancy new hospital a county over. Doing a reading of the cards.
He's treated well enough, though the folks farther into the heart of the town mutter about witches and some don't let their kids play with Dustin.
His saving grace is Robin, his best friend who keeps him entertained with the latest gossip from town, and Wayne Munson, a neighbor with a troubled nephew who helps out when he can.Steve was getting by just fine, until the night Chrissy Cunningham went missing.
Now, threatened by Chrissy's violent fiancé; trying to guide his own wayward friends- all while keeping Dustin fed and safe, Steve has to rely on a Gift that could be turned against him, or get him killed. His only lead is Eddie.

AU based on the 2000 movie The Gift, because I always thought Buddy deserved a happy ending and Annie needed more support. I've been listening to OGOA a LOT, too.
